Accompanying nim on a Kansas inspection trip were C. Ridgeway, former vice president and now chief operating officer, and A. E Sweet of Topeka, general man ager. Mr. Mud re was unusually .-eticent regarding the Ko.k Island financial affairs, "when asked of the proposed reorganization plan, he replied: "I have been 'roughing it' in IS'ew Mexico for a month and have no more than a vague idea about it. I do un derstand that there is a movement on foot that will be beneficial to lhe road and the-people it serves but I will not know exactly what it is until I get back to Chicago." Air.

This Year's Yield Drops Below 100,000,000 Bushels. TOO MUCH RAIN WAS CAUSE Xearly 20 Per Cent of Acreage Was Abandoned. Corn Will Nearly Double Last Year's Production. In thirty days the Kansas wheat crop slumped 17 million "ushels and suffered a shrinkage of 4 0 million bushels in two months. That is the report today of J. C. Mohler. secre tary of the state board of agriculture, who estimates the Kansas wheat yield at 98,690,000 as against an estimate of 115,700,000 in July and 138,700, 000 in June. Continued rains that made impos sible the harvesting of the Kansas wheat was responsible for the big loss in the state s crop production. Mil lions of bushels of grain were lost by Kansas farmers because of the weath er that would not permit threshing, and much of the wheat in shock was lost during the wet season. Thresh ing returns are late this year and Mohler intimates that his August re port may be subject to a further re vision when the official returns for the year are made in the November report.

Militia in Town Prepared to Save Slayer From Violence. Murphysboro, 111., Aug. 30. This town was in the throes of excitement today the day set for the trial of Joe Deberry, negro, charged with the mur der of Mrs. James H. Martin, wife of one of the most prominent attorneys in southern Illinois. Three companies of the Illinois state militia, which stood guard about the jail and court house to prevent the carrying out of lynch threats, added a martial air to the scene. Accounts of the ruse ty which De- berry was spirited away through the rear door of the Harrisburg, 111., jail last night while a mob in front of the jailed stormed a decoy automobile filled with deputy sheriffs, added fuel to the feeling against the negro which has been smouldering hrre since Airs. Martin's badly mutilated body was found in her home a month ago. This feeling was intensified several weeks later when Mr- Martin died of the shock induced by his wife's tragic death. Deberry, who was a servant at the Martin home, confessed to the crime charged against him soon after his ar rest, according to local ponce. This morning it was not known whether he would plead guilty or re pudiate the alleged confession. The negro was badly scared when he was lodged in the local jail after a wild ride from Harrisburg by special train last night. He prayed almost constantly and this morning showed the effects of a sleepless night. STRIKING WORKERS WIN Hundreds of Toilers Resume Their Tasks at Bridgeport. Bridgeport, Conn., Aug. 30.

It is under stood today that Oeriuany's course with regard to the Arabic case has been decided upon and that it is in line with the recent conciliatory statement by Dr. Von Rctiuiiann Hollwcg. the German chancellor. BY CAI5L, VV. AC'K KH.MAX. .Berlin, Aug. 30.-Grand Admiral Von Tirpitz. creator of the German submarine policies that gave. ri; to difficulties with America, believes with Chancellor Hethmann-Hollweg and Foreign Minister Vo Jagow that all differences with America should be ad justed at once. Von Tirpitz. it is understood, does not look with favor on a formal dis avowal of the attack on the Arabic. He believes the most friendly rela tions between the United States and Germany should be established in the negotiations already in progress, but is not yet convinced that they can cnly be attained by repudiation of the act of one of his submarine com manders. The source of the following infor mation cannot be disclosed but it is an absolute fact that Germany's view point is as follows: First Germany hopes that the American government will consider the representations already made to bo sufficient until the official report of the submarine commander is received. Second The question of w-hetrrer the action of the submarine command er shall be disavowed will rest large ly upon this report. The submarine report may be ex pected at any moment. Probably it will be received this week. FLASH f FLAME And a. Loud Repart Disturbs a Chureh Congregation.: 1 Police Are Called to Quell Biot at Shiloh.

A general strike of 200.000 South Wales coal miners, unless today's conference here settles the dispute, was predicted by mine officials who conferred with members of the cabinet today. Mass meetings were held through the Wales coal district Sunday. The spirit of the men was adamant. They cheered speakers who accused the mine owners of making huge war profits and refusing to share them with the workers, and denounced the government's arbitration award. The majority of the meetings adopted reso lutions favoring a walkout on Wed nesday, if no agreement is reached today. The only ray of hope to the govern ment today was news that 3.000 strik ers in the Monmouthsnire district had returned to work. It was stated, how ever, that these men went back at the urgings of the miners' executive coun cil, which asked that all miners re main at work pending attempts to reach a settlement. Strikers in other districts remained out.

"I be lieve that Haskell is sufficiently re moved from active politics to do it and that he has the qualifications necessary for an excellent election commissioner." "I know something of conditons," said Haskell today in discussing his appointment, "and I believe I have a fair conception of what is required to secure clean, honest, decent elec tions, so that every voter will have his vote counted as cast.

On this fraudulent deed he would borrow as much as a bank would give without lengthy In vestigation and would then return to his home town and go on another "business trip" a few weeks later. Bornhardt today said he would re turn to Wisconsin without requisition. To a reporter he said that for several years he had evaded arrest by the use of assumed names. Waukesha Wants Him. Waukesha, Wis., Aug. 30. George Adler, said to be J. W. Barnhardt, a 64 year old wealthy banker of Forest City, Ark., who was arrested in St. Louis, Mo., last night, was arrested in Waukesha several months ago on a charge of attempting to borrow a large amount of money on a forged deed to a piece of land at Menominee Falls, Wis. During the negotiations a real estate agent called up Menomi nee Falls and learned that no such deed had been given to Adler. Adler's arrest followed. He escaped two weeks ago with tro other prisoners. While he was in the Waukesha jail officers from Racine, Omaha and sev eral other cities identified Adler as a man wanted in connection with vari ous crimes, and warrants were issued for his arrest in case he was freed at Waukesha. District Under Sheriff Dave Roberts today left for Madison to obtain ex tradition papers to bring Adler back to this city to stand trial on charges of forgery, jail delivery and attempt ed murder, when he assaulted, it is alleged, Under Sheriff Roberts with a gas pipe in effecting his escape from the Waukesha county jail.

A little joy-ride of a Topeka man and a married woman, not his wife, but somebody else's wife, came to an abrupt end the other evening. The man hired a machine and a negro chauffeur for the trip and he also delved down deep into his win cellar or clothes hamper and dug out a bottle. Then the automobile, the man, the married woman, the bottle and the chauffeur went out riding. The man began taking "wee nips' of the bottte from time to time.. He was getting exceedingly joyful and his happiness later turned to a feeling of dislike for the driver. On West ern avenue, between Twelfth and Huntoon streets and opposite a small city park, the man cracked the chauf feur over the head. The woman screamed. The chauffeur stopped the car, hauled the inebriated man out of the seat, and gave him a sound beat ing. The woman, when the car stopped and a crowd began to gather, grabbed hold of her skirts and flew across the park. And they say that was where she was recognized. The chauffeur, after "cleaning house' with the man who takes the leading role in the drama, pitoked him up, put him back in the car, and started away. The curtain then fell and the interested spectators re turned to their firesides or park benches. FLASH OF FLAME t Con tin iiod from Page Ooe.J very undignified thing. He took to his heels and ran to hla home, which is in the same block. He was pursued by nearly forty of his angry church brethren, who felt that the church had been disgraced by his inadvertent disturbance. A church is ho place for "gun-toting." 'Babe" Smith's Version. "Babe" Smith, who lives near the church, and who has an- intimate ac quaintance in police circles, heard the noise and telephoned to the police station. Harvey G. Parsons, chief of police, answered the telephone. "Chief, I caint tell you what's goin' on. but I think you bettah come. I heahs shootin', then I heahs yellin' and then I sees one man runnin' and 'bout forty after him and I see 'nother crowd in the stret in front of the church and heahs hosses and rigs smashin'." Chief Parsons made a hurry run in the police motor car. "Stillie denied everything." said Chief Parsons, "but nearly twenty or twice that number of men who had followed him to his house, spoke up and said they were ready to testify that they had seen the revolver fall from Stillie's pocket. It is not usual for colored people to give information against one of their race, but in this instance they felt that th-j dignity of the church had been in jured and wanted Stillie punished." Chief Parsons told members of the church to swear to a complaint and Stillie would be arrested. THE WEATHER KCOBI.

Acton, Mass., Aug. 30.; The glazing mill of the American Powder compa ny, which, since the outbreak of the European war has been working to its capacity, blew up yesterday. So far as known, nobody was killed. The shock was felt for forty miles. The actual money loss to the com pany was not heavy. But it was stat ed that work on large orders probably would be held up. for several weeks. Property owners in the surrounding towns, particularly in Maynard, were heavy losers because of the shattered windows. The mill had been closed down since Saturday afternoon. The police of this town and Maynard expressed the be lief that the explosion had been caused with intent to cripple the plant. DnPont Mills Blast. Wilmington, Del.. Aug. 30. Two workmen were instantly killed and considerable damage was done to property by an explosion of two black powder mills of the DuPont Powder company in the Upper Hagley yards, near here, yesterday. The victims are Lawrence Cunningham, aged 4 6, of this city, and Hugh Gillespie, 35, of Hazteton, Pa. Hundreds of windows in nearby houses were broken. Several hundreds pounds of powder exploded, completely destroying the mills. The first to go was a fuse mill. This set off a second plant nearby. The cause of the explosion has not been determined, but officials say it probably was due to a spark or to grit in the powder. Fire in Munitions l'lant. Baltimore, Aug. 30. The plant of the E. J.

It was said, however, the munitions were packed in water jack ets and would not have exploded, even if the train had been ditched. BETTER SCHOOLS HERE Shawnee County Will Be In Good Shape. ucat tonally. When the schools in Shawnee county open September 6 they will bo In better condition than ever be fore John F. Eby, county superin tendent, announced this morning. Mr. Eby has just returned from California where he enjoyed a vacation and he started in on the preliminary work necessary before the county's edua cational system can begin its fall work. "There has been a great deal of im provement in the school houses in all parts of the county," said Mr. Eby this morning. "Now it looks as though almost every one of the 103 schools in the county should be classed as standard schools under the state law. This will mean that certain rules as to heating of the buildings, equipment, qualification of teachers and other things about the schools will be up to the standard set by law." The teaching force in the county will number 160 this year, Mr. Eby stated. SLUMP IN WHEAT (Contlnuedfroin Page One.) the wheat yield at 13 bushels an acre, with a loss and abandonment of near ly 20 per cent of the 9,449,000 acres planted last fall. Corn conditions are unchanged. The report continues to estimate the yield at 149,482,000 as against a yield of 87,338,272 in 1914. The yield of oats is estimated at 35 million bush els a.3 against an estimated yield in the July report of 39 million bushels. The Report. The report follows: Winter Wheat The preliminary es timate of reporters indicates a crop of winter wheat in Kansas this year of 98,690,000 bushels. This is a de crease of more than 17 million bush els from the July estimate of pro spective yield by the same correspond ents. Continued wet weather, render ing impossible the harvesting of much wheat that a month ago it was ex pected would be cut, was a chief fac tor in this reduction. Threshing re turns in many localities are not hold ing up to expectations, suggesting that the waste of grain has been large, especially where wheat was in the shock. Comparatively little thresh ing has been done for the season of the year, and in some portions, par ticularly in the northwest, the sep arator has not yet begun to hum. This preliminary estimate of wheat yield is subject to revision, according to later threshing returns, when the board makes its final inventory in November. Correspondents estimate that near ly 20 per cent of the 9,449,000 acres sown to winter wheat in Kansas last fall was a dead loss, from all causes, including the uncut wheat abandoned, leaving 7,588,000 acres that were har vested, with a probable average yield per acre of slightly more than 13 bu shels. Corn Situation. Corn Approximately 4,500,000 acres were planted to corn in Kansas this year, a-d based on the outlook August 25, correspondents estimate a prospective yield of corn for the state of 149,482,000 bushels, or practically S3 bushels to the acre, on the average. Should this acre yield be realized it will be the largest since 18 89. jvhen the average was slightly more than 40 bushels per acre. Although the total acreage planted this year is the small est since 1882, the present prospect indicates a crop fully up to the annual average of the past twenty years. The vield of corn in Kansas last year was 87,338,272 bushels; in 1913, 18,420, 000 bushels, and in 1912, 156,500,000 bushels. The promise for corn throughout state is uniformly good, excepting in several counties of the eastern third, south of the Kansas river, where the lowest prospective yields are indicat ed, while some of the counties border ing on Colorado, although compart- tively unimportant in corn acreages, report prospective yields equal to the average for the state. It should be borne in mind that this report of corn in Kansas is not a prediction by the board, but. merely an estimate by its correspondentssof the indicated crop, based on conditions existing August 25. t Oats Threshing returns, although meagre, suggest that the state's oats yield will approximate "35 million bushels, or an average yield per acre of 24.8 bushels, as against the pros pective yield of 39 million bushels in July, and an average acre-yield of 27.8 bushels. Sorghums and Hay The various plantings of the sorghums are in most localities making good progress, and the yield of native hay promises to be one of the heaviest in the state's his tory. Yield by Counties. The following table shows, by coun ties, the acreage of winter wheat har vested in Kansas in 1913, the pre liminary estimate -of its yield, and the acres of corn and its prospective yield per acre: Winter Wheat.

WHEAT A rush of buying from the shirt side lifted wheat c to lc higher today at the opening with September at 97ft984. and December at 95VisC to 9614-. Large holders let go freely for profit taking and the market soon re ceded, the reaction amounting to a range of c to lc. The market seemed to be a speculative one with little outside in fluences. For a time prices held within the lower range. Commission houses pressed selling and prices went to new marks for the crop. Unconfirmed rumors that Canada might abolish the duty on wheat also was a bearish factor. The close was weak at a net loss of 2c to 2Vir with September at 95c and Derember at 031. CORN Atthestart showed an upturn of c to l5,4c on reports of frost in Nebraska aiid Iowa, killing frost being reported from near Mason City, Iowa.

SPLIT WITH IZZIES Topeka Won First and Lost Second Game Sunday. Umpire Had to Order Isbell From the Field. Jimmy Jackson's ?rages and Baldy Isbell's league leaders battled to a draw at Western league park Sunday afternoon, the Savages tak ing the first game by the score of 5 to 2 and the Izzies the second 4 to 0. Although the weather was chilly enough to be disrgreeafcle, one of the best Sunday crowds of the season was out and, contrary to custom, most of them stayed until the last out of the second game was made. As usual Dashner and Jackson were the heroes of the first game. Dashner pitched a steady flowing brand of ball and held the Izzies to five hits in spite of the fact that his curves were not up to standard. In three different innings the Ani mal was touched for doubles by Des Moines batters and each time the 2-bat-e sluggers died in their tracks. Many who saw the game will always think It should have been a shut out. lz.ies Score. In the seventh inning when the league leaders made their brace of sores, Jones, the first man up, was called safe at first when it looked as though Lattimore had him thrown out by a good margin. Ewoldt walked and Hartford grounded out. Bills, next up, hit a sacrifice fly to Brown. The big Moose made a perfect peg home, and Jones might have been caught at the plate if Fisher had not stopped the ball. However, those who think Dashner should have had a shut out, contend that Jones would not have been cn the bases if Van Svckle had called 'em accurately. Kwoldt scored the second run in the same inning on Breen's single through short. Jackson's spectacular play came in thj third frame, when, with a man on second and two out, he caught Halm's long fly one-handed while on a dead run. Jackson also got two hits from four times up and drove in one of the scores. Tydeman also featured with two triples that were essential in the manufacture of three runs. Isbell Chased. Isbell was the goat of the afternoon and he was put off the field in th middle of ihe sixth inning when he lost control of himself over the im pending defeat and tried to unload his wrath on Umpire Van Syckle with out cause. The inning before Van Syckle had called a double play on the Savages that caused Jimmy Jackson and Ed die Monroe to put up such a howl that they were threalercd with the club house. And then in the sixth when Van call?d a legitimate strike on Sawyer, Isbell. who was coaching on third base line, began to spill his tem per all over the pa-k. He started out by calling Van Syckle a cut-throat, and added that if Van would pay the Topeka management what he owed it he wouldn't have to give Topeka the best of it. Van Syckle took it all for several minutes, but fi nally when it looked like there was danger of "Izzy" wearing his tongue out. he was ordered of the field, pre sumably for his own good. Isbell refused to leave, but when he saw that the game would be forfeited If he didn't, he sneaked into obscurity after having reiterated that Van Syckle owed the Topeka club money, that he was a dope shooter and several other kind of monsters. For the remainder of the contest "Izzy" crouched in front of a knot hole in the grandstand and watched his battlers take their licking, and in order to get back on the bench in the second game he was compelled to crawl out in front of the crowd, get down on his knees before Van Syckle and bare his bald head in humble sup plication. And Isbell is the one club owner who says that the panning of the plavers and managers is responsi ble for" the rotten umpiring Western league fans have, been seeing. The Second Game. The second game was cut to a seven inning affair by agreement and the fans made no complaint as most of them were anxious to get to a warmer locality. For the first five Innings it was a pitcher's battle with Huggins and "Thomas dividing the honors 60-50. Both held their opponents to one hit and the onlv edge Huggins had -was that he had fanned six while "Tom my" had only whiffed one. In the sixth frame, however, the Izzies got to the Topeka twirler and harvested their four runs. Graham led off with a single that went between Huggins' legs. Thomas sacrificed and Halm grounded out. Hunter hit one through second that was too hot for Lattimore to handle and "Peaches'' THE Boys Are Pretty Natural at That BY"CLUG" bTAXUIXli OK THE CLUBS. Weateru Leasre. Won. Si 75 S H5 Cillhj.

Saturday's game, which the Sav ages won by the score of 7 to C. was the masterpiece of the season and it was moulded into an acme produc tion by Glen Trainer and Jimmy Jackson, the former making victory possible and the latter making it a reality. The Savages went into the ninth TOPEKA DAILY STATE inning with the score 6 to 1 in favor of the Izzies. And then, with two men out, they drove in enough runs to tie the score mil won in the first extra inning. When the local warriors came to bat in the ninth Cochran grounded out, Brown singled and Tydeman flew to Bills. It looked like it was time for the scorers to make totals, but Lattimore drew a walk, Jackson dou bled, bringing in Brown and Latti and the big climax was on. Fisher singled, scoring Jackson, and Monroe doubled to left, scoring Fisher. Another run was needed to tie the count and another out meant that the game was over. However, Trainer, who was sent in as a pinch hitter for Carroll, was equal to the occasion and poled out a two-bagger that tied the score. Lakaff took the mound in the tenth and Breen, the first man up, landed on him for a double. Gilligan grounded out and Hahn hit a fly to Jackson. Breen attempted to make it home, but Sir James's old faithful arm stood by him when he sorely needed it and the run was cut off at the plate by a wide margin. And then, in the last of the tenth. it was Sir James's Cuban wood bat that scored the winning run. Coch ran flew out and Brown singled. Typeman singled to left and Brown at tempted to score but was thrown out at the home rubber. Lattimore again walked, and it was up to Manager Jimmy. Jimmy turned the trick, as he usually does. He drove a single into center that brought Tydeman across the plate and the best game of the season was over.

In the eighth inning of the second game the umpire called a foul when Galloway hit a long fly to right field, a big crowd which filled the grand stand and bleachers decided unanimously against the umpire, but the latter's decision stuck. Galloway landed on the next ball pitched for a home run into right field with a man on base, and was fol lowed by McCormick with another cir cuit clout.

Jj. Race. JJrooklyn Tlayed Less Impres sirely Baring Past Week. New York, Aug. 30. The beginning of another week of play in the two major leagues finds the first division clubs in each circuit in the same rela tive positions as a week ago, with sur prisingly small changes in percentage. The Boston Braves, in the National league, an the Boston Red Sox, in the American, have, respectively, made the best showings in their cir cles, with the difference that the American league representatives al ready were at the top and have main tained their position, while the world's champions are playing an uphill game and still have some distance to go be fore reaching the altitude of their am bitions. And it must .be conceded that I Stallings' men are making a fine 'i?ht of it, a better one than any but their staunchest supporters believed they would put up. Brooklyn Not So Strong. Less impressive than for some weeks was the showing of the equally ambitious Brooklyns last week. Their even break in eight games cost them a few percentage points. The Phillies, with five games won and two lost, made their chief gain at the expense of the Cincinnatis, from whom they took four straight games. The Brooklyns were playing much stronger ball as the week closed than when it began, for they lost three straight to the Reds to start with, but loivided the series with St. Louis ana j obtained an even break on the week j by taking a doubleheader from the Pi rates on Saturday. Robinson's men, I despite their only average play of late, still are btrong contenders for the i flag. Neither Chicago, Pittsburg nor New York did anything to brag about, the Pirates' showing being the poorest, while the Giants, as the week closed. j were showing more class than for i some time.

By Bud Fisher SPORT WHEEZES rarioUMl Doc Mm4l Mas, Imob SmmFwMbm. Kto. (By Clif.) Jimmy Jackson and Glen Trainer were the heroes de luxe of Saturday's game, but every Savage was pretty muchly "one of them things." The morale of the team was more than worth the price cf admission. The effort that is being made br Omaha fans to get a club in th American association may be all right. But if Omaha can't develop or sup port a class A club, how can she hope for success with a class AA? Rourke, of Omaha, !s getting what most people set when they fail a real panning. The general public, taken as a howling whole, is never what might be called a blue-blooded sport. Excuses are never sought and only results are considered. In matters of sportsmanship Tope ka and Wichita have just cause to be proud of themselves despite the fact that Kansas has a reputation for being a "dead one." Through thick and thin there has been a big ele ment in both cities that has stuck loy ally to the ball club. And bigger places like Omaha and St. Joe can't even stand one disastrous season. It was reported Sunday that a Fed eral league scout was in the city dick ering with Topeka players. Nothing definite pertaining to his mission, the players he was after or the size of his bank roll wa.s learned. It was un derstood that he represented the Bal timore Feds and was returning from a trip to Denver. Connery, the Cardinal scout, who came here the middle of last week, left Sunday night for St. Louis. He stated that there was nothing he could give out, but it is presumed he was looking over Brown and Dashner and postibly Grcver, with a view of putting in a draft. The National learrue drafting season will be on Sep tember 15- The price the Brooklyn Nationals paid for Catcher Monroe is not belnir advertised. It is the Brooklyn policy to pay nothing down for.a recruit but it is understood the local manage ment held out for a spot cash pay ment and got it. This is likely true as Monroe would undoubtedly have been drafted by some club. The last time Des Moines was here Frank Isbell bitterly denounced the players and club owners who ride um pires and call them nasty names. Is bell generally has the reputation of being a good sport. But if he con tinues to conduct himself like ho did on the field Sunday he will lie put ting a good reputation in jeopardy and will lead people to suspect that he may be a two-tongued individual a.fter all.

Evidently the German police au thorities are wise to the cause of a large variety of disturbances. Those of Berlin have asked their superior governmental authorities to take (steps that will considerably curtail the consumption of distilled liquors. This move would also seem to dispel officially a heretofore generally ac cepted fact that the Germans, In the main, confine their alcoholic activi ties to the consumption of beer. In all probability, not a few in the Boston crowds that cheered Governor Capper and his remarks on prohibi tion subsequently went around the corners and irrigated their dry throats wi'-h glasses of beer or booze. Boston, you know, has saloons. And, as in the matter of voting; everybody doesn't always drink as he.cheers t Kansas is reported by Mr. Ross, the state superintendent of public in struction, to be a little slow in the matter of the consolidation of rural schools. But this is an educational reform worth while that Kansas will come around to rome day. It is un reasonable to expect Kansans to do everything tnat Is desirable all at once. Mother Nature seems to have re versed another of her customary pro cedures by staging the floods this year in the late summer instead of the spring. Topeka is spending more money for the conservation of the health of her citizens than any other city in Kansas. All of which 'indicates that Topeka knows which siiie her bread is butteied on. Good health is the first step on the perilous road to hap piness. Without good health, little is possible for any one Were Russia as adequately equipped with munitions of war and efficient officers as she is with men, the great German drive in the eastern war zone probably would have never gotten under anything like full steam ahead. Notwithstanding the tremendous forces she has already put in the field, Russia is mobilizing another 2,000,000 men. So much tor another old-fashioned theory. Lightning recently hit a barn near Goff, Kan., twite in five min utes. Probably a good many people in these United States are wondering if Uiey are going to get a little more for the huge sums of money that the gov ernment is preparing to spend in the consummation of the enlarged plans for preparing the nation more ade quately for defense, or for war, than they have out of the vast military and naval expenditures of recent years. No doubt about former President Taft having the courage of his con victions. He told the Californians to their faces the other day that they are likely to have to pay dearly for their divers social and political ex periments. RURAL CREDITS AGAIN. Getting the money back on to the farm is a job much discussed at var ious conventions these days, says Col liers, but there are one or two points that seem worth ."tating: Rural credits is a problem of development, not of charity. AVe have no oowntrodden peasantry in this country, ard the le gal rate of. interest has somewhat re stricted the mortgage sharks. Getting- completely rid of these fellows is Important, but it Is much more im portant to secure in all parts of our country the best possible investment and use of agricultural capital. This should not bo done by the privilege method, by State aid, lax exemption, and so on. If the American farmer can't pay his way, nobody can. The real need is better organization of the farming business by means of rural cooperative banks, which will not only do the banking for their members, but will also give them the benefits of centralized buying and selling. The banking will be based on the actual known values of the n ighborhood, and the trading operations will be real and not peculative. Along with in dividual zea and- skill in farming will BO a cooperative use of the farmers' buMntss strength. Rural credits must be taken up as a part of this larger problem of agricultural business or ganization. JITNEY LEGISLATION. There never seemed to be any occa sion in Topeka for city legislation that would hamper the activities of the individual hackmen and to the advantage of the plutocrats of the profession, the livery stable owners. At any rate none was ever enacted. And there do-?sn't 3eem to be either good or sufficient reasons why a jit ney ordinance should be framed in terms that might work hardships on the individual jilney owner and op erator and thereby to the advantage of the jitney bus companies. A fair field for all is the best way to do business in all things. COMPULSORY EDUCATION. A race to avoid being the last state in the union to adopt compulsory education laws is ap parently under way in the south ern states, according to reports received at the United States bureau of education. There are now only three states without such laws, Flori da having recently joined Texas and South Carolina in adopting compul sory education by legislative enact ment. The three states still without laws are Georgia, Mississippi and Ala bama. The new Florida law provides that on petition of one-fourth of the electors of any special school district or county, the county board of edu cation shall call an election to deter mine whether attendance shall be compulsory therein. A three-fifths majority vote is necessary for adop tion. Children between 8 and 14 years of age are required to attend for o.t least SO days each year, unless exempt because of physical or mental disabil ity; because they live two and one half miles from a school and no trans portation is provided; because thir services are required for the support of a dependent family; or becausa their parents are unable to provide books and clothing. By the provisions of the law the county boards of edu cation are authorized to appoint at tendance officers to enforce the law and to take a census of the children between 6 ana years oi age. though the Florida law is thus of the optional type, it is a clear recogni tion of the compulsory principles and is regarded as a real step in advance. In the field of compulsory education throughout the United States it is be lieved that the next steps will have to do with the adoption of state-wide laws where optional laws now pre vail: the raising of the age limits in conformity with the best, principles in child-labor legislation: and more strict enforcement of existing laws. THE BOTKIN VERDICT. Wliv rOelnv the Bntkin decision un til September 15. If the Honorable .lerrv isn't found guilty of all the charges in the indictment against him, reenrdless of anv of tbe testimony or evidence that was brought out in the investigation, the people of Kansas, or the fw who mav be interested in the case, will be treated to the biggest political surprise of their lives. WKe eye-witnesses to an accident, every body doesn't see testimony and evi dence in the same lisht. You might think that in some respects, the testi monv at the Botkin trial was favora ble to the accused. But you don't happen to be among the judges m tne case, and they of course are entitled to their opinions. COLE AND BILL. Cole Blease appears to be the Bill Sulzer of the south. He is going to run for the governorship of South rolina aiin. And he concludes his announcement: "So on witn tne dance; let joy be unconfined." But many people may be pardoned for thinking that "unrefined" would have been an appropriate substitute for the last .word of the quotation. And Bill Sulzer, by the way, is now making ready to press a candidacy for the dis trict attorneyship of New York City. Bill argues that if Mr. Whitman could step from, that office to the state's ubernatorial chair, it is just as logi cal for an ex-govorr.or to step down Into the New York district attorney's office. The fact that Bill is the only extant species of an impeached gov ernor cuts no ice with Bill. His de sire to serve the people in a position that pays a large salary and has other, possible remunerative advantages is as keen as it ever was. Bill and Cole, thoush. might have better luck were they to join forces and work out in the vaudeville arena. SANITARY SWIMMING POOLS. The danger of the transmission of disease in swimming pools is becom ing realized more prominently with the growing popularity of these insti tutions. The management of public baths in such a way as to guarantee a satisfactory degree of sanitary safety has raised a series of questions involv ing construction, equipment, water source and supply ana personal hygiene. Calcium hypochlorite has been highly recommended for disin fecting, and has been adopted for many pools. Its efficiency as a disin fectant for the water Is not doubted. Its use. however, gives rise to frequent complaints on account of the disagree able odor attending if. This has led to much experimentation in search of an equally efficient and less offensive substitute. The difficulties here re ferred to are decidedly greater in con nection with swimming pools than with public water supplies. For the treatment of the latter, more than two parts per million of hypochlorite are seldom necessary. Even with this small proportion, aeration of the drinking water is" necessary to over come the objectionable taste and odor. In the case of the swimming pool, this feature is aggravated by the fact that three parts cf the hydrochlorite per million are necessary to sterilize the water. Aeration in such cases merely serves to release the odor from the water into the enclosed room sur rounding the pool. In tests conducted recently at the Taylor gymnasium pool at Lehigh University, South Bethlehem, Pa., encouraging results have been secured by the employment of copper sulphate in place of calcium hypochlorite. The advantage of cop per sulphate over calcium hypochlo rite as a disinfectant for swimming pools is that it does not undergo chem ical change readily. Hyperchlonte owes its power to the chemical reac tions involved in liberating chlorin, whereby it is converted into a useless product. Copper sulphate is not ir ritating to the eyes and mucous membranes, as the hypochlorite may be when used in germicidal quantities. It is cheaper and has no odor. If all other conditions were equal, says tbe Journal of the American Medical As sociation, the last fact alone would prove to be a great advantage.

Evening Chat BY RUTH CAMERON. Other People's Motives, Someone was wondering why a cer tain woman was a suffragist. "Oh, that's simple enough," ex plained the woman who isn't. "There's a rather smart crowd in our town that's take up suffrage and she has taken' that side so as to be in with them." A little later someone asked her why she was oi posed to suffarge and she immediately supplied them with some very high sounding motives. Her reasons for thinking as she did were honest and worthy, but her op ponent's motives were not. How did she know? I can't tell you. I suppose she knew in that mysterious way in which cer tain people always know that the person who does not think as th-?y do is influenced by unworthy considera tions. Cut from the same piece of goods are the people who are always sure that anyone who criticises them is narrow or prejudiced or actuated by dislike envy, pique or some other un worthy motives. A young girl was obstinately bent on pursuing what seemed to everyene about her a foolish course. Her older sister was arguing against it. "Aunt Lucy thinks you're making a great mistake." "Aunt L-cy!" said the obstinata one contemptuously. "You know she's an old fogey." "And Miss Marshall her high school teacher thinks it's absolutely crazy." "She wants everyone to be a teach er like herself. You can't tell any thing by what she says.V "Well. Ruth an older girl for whom the younger sister had always had a great admiration said she was terribly sorry to hear you thought of taking up that work. She didn't think you were at all fitted for it." The obstinate one never wavered a moment. "Well, I wouldn't have thought Ruth would let herself be in fluenced against me by you and moth er," was her prompt explanation of that. It plainly never occurred to her that any of these people might be sincere and wise in their criticisms. They criticised her; she was right; therefore they must be either prejudiced or ill advised. Plainly this is not the road to self improvement and progress. On the contrary. Question I am debating whether to send my girl to a co-educational col lege.

Katherine Morley, old Dr. Morley's beautiful daughter, was the undis puted widow of Clayton college. And after she had ushered seven classes into Clayton she was smilingly spoken of by the other girls of the town as "The Youth's Companion." Whether it was because she resented this or because of a deeper reason it is hard to tell, but just as the eighth fresh man class since her eighteenth birth day was about to enter Clayton, Ka therine Morley assumed another poise. College men failed to interest her any longer, she told people. "They had no true feeling. Her ideal man was more of a primitive." This was all right as a drawing room pose, but when Katherine put it into practice and began to be seen walking on Sunday afternoons in the country and attending local attractions with a certain handsome young fac tory foreman whose cheap green suit and creaky shoes, wide spreading hat and gaudy neckties were suggestive of Hungarian peasant origin, the college community was filled with consterna tion. And when this flirtation lasted through the winter, and Katherine quite frankly mentioned this young peasant Alec Brajaska to her friends and received him at her home when her father was away, things be gan to look serious. Most to be pitied was Dr. Morley, her father. One day his assistant in the sociology department, Beardsley Drew, suggested that he might be of some assistance. "Something surely will have to be done," replied the father. "It is get ting to be outrageous. I have spoken to Katherine myself about it. I dread taking the step, but I see no other way out of it. I am afraid Katherine is serious. I can have at least the satisfaction of knowing something of the man's origin. I must know whether there is any reason why Ka therine ought not to marry him. I know of no one who can undertake the investigation so well as you, Mr. Drew." The result of this conference was that Prof. Beardsley Drew undertook the task of looking Into the record and standing of Alec Brajaska. As a professor of sociology, he had studied, perhaps more interestedly than the professor knew, the life and the cus toms of the factory element of the men and women in town who were so far removed from the college circle and college interests. He knew their various dialects, and the task was not difficult. Drew began his task in a sensible way by discarding his regular clothes, which would have branded him as an outsider, and with a shabby suit and a pair of brilliant tan shoes and a cheap broad brimmed felt hat he sal-' lied forth. He went to the house where Bra jaska was known to live. It was at the hour when the young man would naturally be at work. A young for eign woman answered his knocking and proved to be the daughter of the woman who kept the boarding house at which Brajaska and several of his associates took their meals. Prof. Drew arranged to take board at the same place. It was the easiest way to evade suspicion, and as he was having a week's vacation he could carry out his plan without fear of being suspected. He occasionally talked with Bra jaska. but more frequently with the associates. He lingered after the other boarders one morning at break fast and started to speak of Brajaska to Magda, the young daughter. "You seem to know Brajaska," he said. "How is it? Did you know him in the old country?" Magda told him a few things about hi3 bringing up, his boyhood ambi tions. He was 30 and she was 20. They had lived on adjoining farms in the old country and for years her father had been saving up to come to this country, and had influenced Alec to come. They had all ccme together and then her father had died. Suddenly the girl stopped talking and then Morley looked up in sur prise to see that she was crying. He put his haid impulsively on her shoulder and 'she did not resent it. She was apparently too much preoc cupied with her own grief. "Do you not know," she asked, "about me and Brajaska' I was promised to him and we were going to bo married in the spring, and then a Deautiful, very beautiful lady with a great deal of money, took him away. She will marry him. Brajaska has said so." Drew's first feeling was for the unfortunate Magda. This feeling was followed by one of anger at Bra jaska, who had the insolence to de sert a woman of his own class and because of his good looks win the af fection of another woman out of his class. Drew remained at the boarding house a week, each day growing more and more acquainted with the sor rowful little Magda. The last day of his vacation was to be the day of the excursion and Drew had seen that Magda had refused the invitation of several of the young men to go with them. :Then he asked her to go with him. She looked away from him shyly. "No," she said- "It would not be right. I am promised to Alec "But don't you see, Magda," said Drew with more feeling than he usu ally showed, "perhaps if you go with me and are very happy and I seem to be very fond of you perhaps Bra jaska will be jealous. We are all made that way, we men." "But the rich lady will be with him," said Magda. "He will have no eyes for anyone else. I could never stand it." However, Drew was able to per suade her that a little skillful acting might bring back Brajaska's affec tion. She was very pretty. Drew told her, even if the other iady was beau tiful. It was a gay assemblage that met in the wooda, and although Magda's heart was heavy the sound of the music ai.d the festivity brought the light into her eyes and the color to her checks. She laughed and needed little artifice to disguise the true feel ings of her heart. Brajaska and Ka therine had been watched by their associates more closely than Kather ine enjoyed. She was very beautiful. Drew thought, in comparison with their simple, stolid peasant women. He had never before realized how beautiful she was. He was alone for a minute. Magda had gone off to take part in some con test. He was surprised to see Kath erine standing alone at his side, her eyes flashing ar-.d the color high in her face. "Prof. Drew," she said distantly, "I am surprised. I never thought it of you." "Never thought what, Katherino?" he asked, feeling somehow that what he had come to the excursion for had begun to happen. "I never thought that you would come to one of these affairs with a Hungarian woman. Don't you sup pose that it will get back to father and the college?" "What about yourself?" asked Drew. "That's quite different. Every one knows about Brajaska and me. And you are just trifling with these people. It is quite different." "How do you know I am trifling;?" asked Drew, feeling the charm of her beauty now that she was angry. "Per haps I am as serious as you are?" "You you don't mean it isn't that little Magda creature?" "I wonder how serious you are, Katherine," he said. "Do you really mean that you are going to marry Brajaska?" "Oh, no, I couldn't do that quite. But Brajaska is wonderful. He has so much more spirit than any other man I ever knew." "But suppose you were to find that the men of your own class had more spirit than you thought? Suppose that I were to tell you and prove to you, Katherine, that I had more spirit than to let you throw yourself away on a person like Brajaska, that I had feeling enough to fight for you. Sup pose I were to tell you that I have been following you and watching you for the whole winter and that for z. week I have been living with Brajaska just to find out for myself whether you and he were really capable of being happy together?" "But what about Magda?" Kather rne's jealousy was still uppermost. "That little Magda," said Drew, "is going to marry Brajaska if you have the good sense to let him alone. You have been behaving like a child, but I love you." Katherine looked at him in surprise, her breath coming fast. At sundown Brajaska took Magda home to the little boarding house, and Magda had forgotten all about the long months of her unhappiness, so happy was she to rest her head on his broad shoulders and feel that after all they were promised to each other and would soon be married. "But Brajaska," said Magda, sud denly remembering that the kind hearted boarder who had gone to the excursion with her had not returned, "where is the new boarder? He was a good friend of mine." "The new boarder, I will tell you about him some time," replied Bra jaska. "We had a long talk last night. He and I are always going to be friends. He is a man, like ourselves with great feelings, but ho knows, as I do, that to be happy one must love a woman of his own class." (Copy right, 1915, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Does your charity cover many sins? An irresistible impulse is one we yearn to follow. A bachelor says the best pet dogs come in glass cases. Only a great man can successfully dodge undeserved praise. Flattery is the stuff dished out to other people never to us. Men learn more as they grow older, but it is of less importance. Occasionally one woman leads a man, but more often a dozen chase him. About the only thing some men are qualified for is posing as innocent by standers. And many a man finds it difficult to make a living because he is prac tically a dead one. A man must be mighty disagreeable when even his own conscience isn't on speaking terms with him. The young man who is waiting for something to turn up ought to marry a girl with a pug nose. THE BIG Sue's father had gone off on a fish ing trip and Sue and her mother couldn't go along. Of course father had explained that fishing trips were no outings for little girls; and Sue's had talked about the mos quitoes and the camp fare and every thing she couia mum i disagreeable about the trip. But still the little girl felt very deserted when her father started off without her. "Never mind. Sue," called father as the train pulled out of the station, 'I will send you the very first thing I catch!" So -Sue watched the mail man every day and wondered what he would bring. She had not long to wait. The third day after father left, the parcels post wagon stopped in front of Sue's house and the carrier brought in a great box addressed to Sue. -a-hat i th world?" exclaimed Sue's mother as she saw the box. "Has he sent us an aquarium r i toiu him to have the fish dressed before he shipped them!" Wonderingly she tore the lid off the box and cautiously she peered inside. And what do you suppose she saw? Yes, sir! A great, big, fat, turtle: What in the world should they do with that? "Father said he would send me the first thing he caught and he has!" cried Sue as she danced around happily. "He certainly has," agreed moth er, "and what are we going to do with it?" Of course something had to be done, as Mr. Turtle couldn't stay in that box all the time. So everybody helped and in an hour's time, Mr. Turtle was settled in his new home. A tub in which a few stones were scattered was placed in the back yard in a spot where he could get both shade and sun during the course of the day. Some crackers were crumbed up in the water in the tub and everybody watched to see Mr. Turtle eat, j But Mr. Turtle didn't eat. At least j Kansas Comment ARE WE FATALISTS? Telegraphic cablegrams from the. Gallipoll peninsula state that the Turks do not run to cover, beins fatalists. Perhaps we Americans are fatalists. We are talking about foing to war with the nations of Europe un less they do as we say and at the same time have not added a single man to the army or navy, unless it be by ac cidental enlistment. The feeling that Germany is bound hand and foot by her enemies no doubt makes our diplomatists braver than they would i. nnco nf ftteel that sur round the Germans and Austrian broken. We may take our ume aim deciare war if we wish if Germany is to be our enemy, is no doubt the feel ing in official circles. "How can Ger many harm us?" Is asked. Germany cannot harm us at the present tune but it wouid take a year to put a trained army in the field and by that time we may be the only nation at war with Germany. Of course it is foolish to speak of war because the possibility of war with that nation is remote. But we go on and on as fa talists. Leavenworth Post. AMERICAN PRODUCTS AND PRICES. Recent events have shed more light on the practice of selling American products at one price at home and at another price abroad. A few years ago there was much criticism of some manufacturing concerns which, in or der to keep men employed and fac tories running full capacity producced more goods than the homo market would absorb and sold the surplus abroad at a reduced price. The re duced price was necessary in order to to sell the goods in competition with the foreign producer. Now, it ap pears, the U. S. steel corporation is selling much of Its products abroad at higher prices than received at home. In the former instance, as at present, the foreign sales gave em ployment to American labor and fur nished a market for American raw material. Formerly, the American manufacturer had to under sell his foreign competitor In the foreign mar ket. Now the European war has cut off the competition. In the days when the surplus product was marketed at a cut price abrcad, the wage earner received no less than he does today. All of which is food for thought among men who are interested in tho problem of finding a Job for the American workmen whether a war is raging in Europe or not. Baldwin Ledger. From Other Pens KEEPING COOL. The weather-wise recommended keeping cool heads and temper dur ing the heated term. To fret, fume and fuss under such a temperature may be in harmony with nature siz zling under a torrid sky. Regenerate human nature would counsel adjust ment of apparel and demeanor to conditions which no mortal can elimi nate. Yet within the encircling year human forethought and invention have happily relieved the stress of summer heat and vigor even of Arctic cold. A rigid Puritan, however, was known never to use an umbrella as neutralizing the order of Providence, and so unprotected would get drench ed for conscience sake. A noted rural divine of the olden time to whose home certain theologs came statedly for tuition, was said to have called them back to his door and kept them standing there unprotected from a sudden shower till he let them go with this injunction, "when it rains on you, let it rain." Possibly modern critics and scribes would take the name of Jupiter Pluvius more reverently on their tongues and typewriters if they realized he was the supreme diety in old Roman mythology, and judged to be the originator of all atmospheric changes. His favorite weapon wus said to be the thunderbolt. So let profane swearers beware of blurting out, "By Jove," at ill-timed change of weather. Knoxville Journal and Tribune.

"Father fail he wonld Mnd me the first thins lie caught and he has!" At last father came home. Of course he offered advice at once. He made a new home in a different tub; he put minnows and flies In the wa ter, but still Mr. Turtle pined and pined. So there was nothing to do but set him free. After an early dinner one evening, father put the turtle in a basket and Sue went with him over to the city park. When they reached the lagoon, father set the basket down on the tiny beach, lifted out the tur tle and started him for the water. At first the turtle only blinked lazily then he stretched his neck towards the water; then, in a quick walk, he waddled Into the lake! And that is the true story of how a great big turtle got into a little bit of lake in the park. (Copyright Clara Ingram Judson. Wff Tr -g tii ir -f -i i a

With gross revenues from operation for the year ended June 30, 1915 more than $123,000,000 below thoi.; for the preceding year and nearly $200,000,000 $196,723,000) under those of two years ago, the railways of the United States through the adoption of the most exacting econo lines were able to show an increase In net operating income of nearly $19 00 0,000 over that for 1914. But the student has to go back to the dlsas- tn3 period following the panic of 1907 to find another year in which the net income- of the railways was not larger than in 1915. In the m ?an time and here is the whole situa'ion the operated mileage lis? increased from 227,454 to 255, S40 miles, or 1? 3S miles of operated line, and th; net capital investment has increased from $58,298 per mile in 1907 to $U5,000 in 1915. These figures mean that with nearly three million dollars larger invest ment in 1915 than in 1907 the rail ways had approximately $25,000,000 less net income to take care of it. The tabulation of the Bureau of Railway News and Statistics, giving the gross operating revenues of the railways by months for the fiscal years 1908 to 1915 inclusive, with totals for half years, serves as a mirror in which is reflected the business con ditions in the United States for the past eight years. Between the? iow bl in February, 1908 and the high tide in October, 1912. there is a dif ference of $14?, 000, 000 in gross monthly receipts. Its chief signifi cance is that it marks the fluctuation in traffic for which the railroads have to be-prepared. Even between the highest and lowest record for Oc tober, the big month of the year, there is a difference of $70,000,000, which is more than equnded by that of Feb ruary. 1908 and February, 1913. For the first half of the last fiscal year there was a startling recession In railway revenues of over $108,000, 000. Since New Year's, however, there has teen a slow recovery re sulting in a higher gross for May and June over the corresponding months of 1914, but considerably be low the gross for the same months in 1913. For the second six months of the fiscal year 1915, the loss in gross revonuva was lesa than $15,000,000, making a total decrease for the year of over $123,000,000. TIIKKE-S A Dll'TEREX CK. Comparison of French and V. S. Koads Made by Former Kansan. W. G. Landon, formerly of Leaven worth, now employed by the French government as a railway fireman, has written a letter to the Railway Age Gazette :n which he gives some in teresting information about railroad work ;ind pay in France. "To begin with." says Landon, '"France has no sixteen hour law. An engineman might be on duty twenty four hours: he would have to remain on duty until he had finished his .tin, and he would not receive a cent of overtime. Payment in road service is by distil nee, and switching service by the day of twelve hours, two hours being allowed for the midday ineni. Coal premiums, figured on a ton .nile an hour basis, are paid to engineers and firemen. Fines are imposed Cor losing time if the crew is to blame, nd a bonus is paid for making 'ip time. Nearly all freight trains, in cluding extras, are run on schedules. Engineers of fast expresses make (including premiums) up to 600 francs ($120) a month, and firemen up to 300 francs ($U). but their work is double that in the United States. For example, divisions up to 150 miles are doubled every day, the m-n fre quently being on duty thirteen to four teen hours. One day off in every ten Is given in any class of service. "The fireman has to clean the fire. At the end of the run he has to clan out the smokebox. where two barrels of cinders usually coiject, clean out the pan, which is flat and not self cleaning like those in America, fill the sandbox (the sand usually has to be carried in buckets from the sand bouse), and clean the entire engine, including the polished steel motion work, but not the wheels. The tender is not cleaned and the contrast of a clean engine and dirty tender i3 pe culiar. Inside motion (most of loco motives being of the four cylinder type) is not cleaned, with the result that the engineer gets a nice oil. grense and dirt bath when oiling. The fire man has to spend fully an hour after coming in to fix up the engine. "Other incenveniences could be mentioned, but these will suffice to to show splendid American working conditions are as compared with those here." S. X. Kxtcnion?

He is by no means an ordinary type of preacher. It is his eccentric delivery that orands him as a man that is different. He comes to Topeka highly recommended as a lecturer. Of him Collier s has tms to say. "Dr. Braugher belongs to the eccen- trie tVDe of preacher, but he is not uncouth or uneducated.

A cashier in a Topeka bank has proven his ability to keep a secret. He is still keeping the secret. It concerns the business of the bank, and he is guarding the bank's inter ests. Others have been taken into the secret and these are wondering how long the cashier will keep mum. "I want to open an account," an nounced Jas. A. Pringle, contractor. After his signature he wrote the let ter "C" "Be sure to carrj- that 'C behind my name," he requetjted. "Certainly, but -what ia that letter for," inquired the cashier. "Oh, I am running a little crap i game down the street. Don't say any thing about it, but I have a pretty good thing," explained the contractor, confidentially. A few days later he returned and opened another account, requesting that the letter "P" be carried after it to keep the two accounts from being confused. "I am branching out, I have started a poker game, and everything seems fine." Pringle told the banker. Then Pringle explained to some of his friends. "Individual property owners pay me for making pipe connections with the East side sewer which is being built. I want to know what this will total and the easiest way is to keep an in dividual account and deposit the money as I get it. 'C stands for 'connections.' And the 'P' account? P' stands for pipe. I get a refund on all broken pipe." IT'S UP TO THT CITY Postmaster Rigby Answers the Pro test of J. A. Pringle. Following complaint of James A.

"So far the city has not completed the walks and one of the rules of the department is that the walks must be installed before free city delivery is given. "The matter is up to the city and the residents of Kenwood. When the walks are laid they will get the de livery." Mr. Rigby stated that Prin gle has never taken the matter up with him.

The Ameri can flag now floats over more ships in the foreign trade than at any time since 1863 and the United States is pressing close on France and Norway as a maritime nation. Fig-ires made public today by the department of commerce show a rec ord increase in American shipping- for rpjr ended June. 30. On that date there wer registered in the foreign trade 2,768 ships, totaling 1.S13.775 gross tons, an increase of 363 ships and 737,623 tons for the year. Practi cally all the increases are due to the new American registry law. Assistant Secretary Sweet of the department of commerce said today: "This :s about triple the increase in registered tonnage for any previous year in American history. Our regis tered tonuage is now much trealer than at any time since 1S63, when we Iiad 2,026,114 gross tons in foreign trade. It is ma.iy times m re efficient, however, as the st-am tonnage now amounts to 1, 273.067 tons, while in 1893 it amounted only to 133,215 tons. "The 'ncrease from the ship regis try act of August 18. 1914, to June IS, 1U15, was so rapid that tonnage under the American flag now employed in foreign trade is nearly equal to such toi na re under the Frcr ch or Xorwe gu'ii flags. BrUish t .nnage. of course, is more than ten-fold i-rtaier." TOO MUCllSfTCTION It I.crults An Kntire Change of the State's System. Work of inspecting public and semi public buildings in Kansas will be di vided among several state depart ments, according to announcement made today from the office of L.. T. llussey. state fire marshal. Some of the inspection work formerly handled from the fire marshal's office will in the future he under the supervision of the state K.lor bureau and the state hotel inspector. L'nder the old system a hotel was inspected by the fire marshal. Then the hotel inspector came along and gave the place the once over. The next week, perhaps, an inspector came from the board of health and smelled the cheese and measured the sheets. Then the city milk inspector sent a man to look at the milk and butter. After this army of inspectors had come and gone, someone from the la bor bureau dropped in to give advice as to regulations of public buildings. The system brought forth a howl from the hotel keepers. Now the inspec tion system is to be changed. Policies adopted today will place the hotel inspection work under the jurisdiction of the state hotel inspec tor. By the same token the factories and public work shops are to be in spected by the state factory inspec tor. Such buildings as are left city halls, libraries, court houses, schools and other public places will receive attention from the fire marshal's de partment. The plan will not only re duce the work in several departments, but is expected to eliminate much of the general complaint against too much inspection. PLAN FOR PRO.

Guilford had the Yiest luck. He hit a low screamer that travered on a line until it reached deep center. The crowd cried for a tolerably clever golfer named Tyrus Ray mond Cobb to give an exhibition, but Ty. after watching Guilford's ball start on its journey toward the Canadian border, threw up his hands in amazement and walked to center field.

Death Came as Surprise to His Friends. Hingham. Mass., Aug. 30. John D. Long, former secretary of the Xavy, is dead here. Long's death was generally unex pected. He returned from a trip to Maine two days ago suffering from an intestinal trouble with which he had been afflicted for several years. He was ordered to rest by his physi cians but reports that his condition was critical were denied. John D. Long was Secretary of the i Xavy during the Spanish-American War. It was he who is on record as having despatched the famous mes sage of April 2 5, 1898, to Commodore George Dewey, commanding the Asi atic squadron, then awaiting orders at Hong Kong. The message read: "War has commenced between Spain and the United States. Pro ceed .at once to the Philippine Is lands. Capture or destroy the Span ish ships. Use the utmost endeavor." It was on the sixth day after the receipt of these orders that Dewey reported his great victory in the battle of Manila Bay. Mr. Long was called to the depart ment when President McKinley took office in March, 1897, and also served a year in the cabinet of President Roosevelt. John Davis Long was born in Buck field, Me., in 1838, the son of a prosperous business man, but his own predilection was for law, and poli tics. Settled in Boston after his grad uation from Harvard, he served four terms in the state legislature; was three terms speaker of the House; was lieutenant-governor; and in 1879 defeated General Benjamin F. Butler, the Democratic candidate for govern or, by a plurality of 13,000.

TURKS PLAN MASSACRE Kditor Says All Christians In Constan tinople Are in Danger. Paris, Aug. 30.- That Inver Pasha is plotting a massacre of all Christians in Constantinople is the assertion made in the Gaulois by Emile Galli, former editor of the Levant Herald, who has just escaped from the Turk ish capital. The Turks, he says, realize that the Dardanelles will inevitably be forced and well informed observers are ex pecting the disaster much sooner than even the allies. On the eve of H. Galli's 'departure, which was arranged through his in fluential friends, many leaders of the Turkish moderates implored him to intercede with France on behalf of the Turks, most of whom, he says, art now hostile to the Germans.

CAN'T STAND WITH COLONEL Opposed to Big Army and Bond Issoes. Sees "o Danger of Any Inva sion by Foreigners. Governor Capper urges the support of President Wilson in any reasonable national policy, but is decidedly op posed to large standing armies, bil lion dollar appropriations, or displays of militarism further than adequate submarine and aerial equipment for defense. That was the opinion which the Kansas executive brought to To peka today when he returned from the governor' conference in Boston. During his stay in Boston. Govern or Capper viewed the maneuvers of the Atlantic fleet from the deck of the battleship Wyoming. The Kan sas goernor, with other state execu tives, was in a party chaperoned by Secretary Daniels. National preparedness was the one big topic discussed by the governors during their Boston visit. Coast state governors urged most strongly the need of a larger citizen soldiery and of more thorough and adequate coast de fenses. Billion dollar appropriations. issuance of national bonds for de fenses and the organization of large standing armies were freely discussed. But Governor Capper believes such military activities are unwarranted. "I do not believe Germany or any other nation., is coming over here to blow us up," said Governor Capper. "Before they get through, they will have had all the war they want at home." Modem submarine and aerial equip ment is needed by the United States, Governor Capper stated. But the Kansas governor believes some of the coast state executives are unduly alarmed and excited. "We should stand by President Wilson and support any reasonable program proposed by him for ade quate defense," said Governor Cap per. But that is far enough. The public should not be unduly alarmed. Swats the Alarmists. Then Governor Capper took a swipe at the alarmists. Although the gov ernor was a staunch Roosevelt sup porter in 1912, he does not believe in the extreme policies advocated by Roosevelt in his discussion of for eign affairs. Further, the governor urged today that a so.fe and sane coarse be pursued and that no con sideration be given the extremists. "The subject receiving most atten tion at the Boston conference was na tional preparedness," said Governor Capper today in a discussion of the big issue before state executives. "All the governors from the coast states, east and west, urged the strengthen ing of our military and naval estab lishment, and this element dominated the conference-. Sevtral governors advocated a big increase immediately in citizen soldiery, a suggestion that received more approval than any other. "Quite an effort was made by Bos ton and New York newspapers to throw a scare into the inland govern ors on account of the mpreparedness of th-s United States, but my beliefs were not shaken. Of course, our gov ernment should make all reasonable preparation, but there is no need of getting panicky or hysterical. I do not believe Germany or any other na tion is coming over here to biow us up Before they get through, they will have had all the war they want at home. If they keep it up another year or two, ours is the only nation that will have left a really efficient army ana navy." For Safe and Sane Policies Reasonable preparedness advis able, the sovernor said, but safe and sane policies are urged by the Kansas executive. "We may need some modern sub marines and aerial equipment." the governor admitted, "but I am decided ly opposed to a large standing army or any billion dollar appropriations or big bond issues for war purposes- The people of this country wili not be stamped into a policy of militarism and will not stand for enormous in crease in expenditures for big" battle ships or a great standing army." In view of the delicate international complications. Governor Capper pre fers to place his trust in President Wil son rather than in the extreme poli cies urged by Roosevelt. A safe and sane consideration of conditions is advisable, the governor declares. "I think we should stand by Presi dent Wilson and support any reason able program proposed by him for adequate defense." declared the gov ernor, "I decline to follow these caosi state governors and newspapers in the wild and extravagant program they are promoting strenuously. The course we pursue must be shaped by sane and safe considerations and not by the ideas of extremists of the type of Colonel Roosevelt and other eastern Governor Capper returned from j Boston shortly before noon today. While he expressed himself as deeply impressed with the showing of the big battleships in Boston harbor, he was strongly convinced that the extreme foreign policies urged by easterners were not advisable and would not meet with favor among the inland states.

She has taken post graduate work at Harvard summer school and in the Kansas State Agricultural col lege. Air. Dunn was a. Washburn gradu ate and a Phi Delta Theta fraternity man. He is now county attorney of Pottawatomie county. Miss Welty will be honor zue&t at some pre-nuptial affairs, the first of which is a party to be given tonight bv Miss Kuth 3auer, at which Miss Welty will share honors with two other guests. A Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Searle and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Searle, who have been at the lakes in Wisconsin, have gone to Geneva, Ohio, to attend the mar riage of Miss Beulah Searle and Mr. Warren Crumbine. Mr. C'rumbine's parents. Dr. and Mrs. P. J. Crumbine. and Miss Violet frumbine, who were guests at the Searle cottage, have also gone to Geneva. The marriage will take place Thurs day. September 2. at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sanford Searle. The event will be an elaborate affair, with a good many guests and a large bridal party. Miss Crumbine is to be one of the bride's attendants. Miss Searle is a niece of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Searle, and she made her home with them while she attended Wash burn colleae two years. Mr Crumbine and his bride will go to Boston after the wedding, and later they will come to Topeka to remain a few -weeks before leaving for the western coast. They will sail from Kan Francisco for Shanghai, China, where they will make their home. Mr. Crumbine will be manager of a busi ness house in Shanghai. Miss Ruth Bauer will have guests tonight at bridge, for two of the autumn brides, and an out of town visitor. The honor guests are Miss Katherine Dolman, who will be mar ried to Mr. Frank Davis, of Kansas City. Miss Rebecca Welty, whose en gagement to Mr. Grover Dunn, of Westmoreland, is announced, and for Mr". George Ahlborn, of Washington. IX C. formerly Miss Helen Roehr, of Topeka. Other out of town guests at the party will be Mrs. Grove Dolman, of Ray, Arizona, who is visiting her par ent. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Willard: Mrs. Harold Bozell, of Norman, Okla., and Miss Klizabeth Moore. The company will include the mem bers of Miss Bauer's bridge club and some other friends. Looped up skirts and rather tight fittin? bodies have been adapted from peasant costumes of Europe, though the mod-rn costume never shows the fon. Mrs. George Staebler's gown vas of gray silk brocade, with a touch of rose In the flaring collar of lace. Miss Paxton wore pink crepe, trimmed with i black velvet and black buttons. Miss Lovewell will leave, early cms week for New York to remain indefi nitely. The hat shown In the drawing is a serviceable model to chocse for late i summer wear. It is of all black straw with round crown and wide flaring bright colors of peasant raiment. This new trotter frock of heliotrope cash mere is looped up to show a rtriped Bilk skirt in heliotrope and white. A touch of the silk appears on the bod ice, which is further trimmed with bands of violet ribbon velvet. Miss Marguerite Lovewell, who has been guest of honor at numerous par ties in the past two weeks, good-bye affairs before her departure for the cast, was entertained at an afternoon at bridge by Miss Joy Paxton. There were six tables. Miss Lovewell wore a light blue taffeta gown with shirred skirt and blouse in jacket effect, gath ered close at the waist. The sleeves and vest were of chiffon and net Miss Louise Buck of Traverse City, Mich., who is in Topeka for an extended visit, was one of the guests. She wore a brown silk crepe suit. The blouse waa of net and lace, embroidered In geld threads, and worn with a girdle of Roman silk. Her shoes were bronze, and she carried a hand bag of brown suede. Miss Julia Larimer wore dark blue silk combined with net and chif- brim, slightly lifted on the left side and is trimmed in two black breasts placed together, from between which springs a fan like spray of feathers. Traveling in the far east for pleas ure in these troubled times is not to ie so easy. The passport obtained by Mr. Warren Crumbine, the young bridegroom who is to take his bride to China to live, carries with it some formidable looking documents from Washington, which declare that the holder of the passport must be mak ing the trip for business and not for pleasure, tit contains no clause about combining the two.) The description of the holder of the passport is very minute, giving all the details of weight, height, complexion, etc.. and then in addition his picture has to ap pear along with the description. Strange to say, although the passport is made out for the man and his wife, no description of the woman is re quired. She nas not even the honor of being photographed for the passport. Women may not be of very much im portance in China, but they tolerate no such neglect as that in Kansas, betcher life. The marriage of Miss Marcia Mur dock, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Murdock, of Wichita, to Lieut. Harvey Delano, U. S. -N.. was the event of importance in AVichita Sat urday. It took pla.ee at 4 o'clock in the Murdock home. The Rev. Harley B. Marnott, of the Episcopal church, read the service. Before the cere mony, Rafael Naras, pianist, played a musical program, and the bridal paity entered during the playing of the Mendelssohn march. Katherine Murdock, the bride's sitter, came first in the procession and carried a gar den hat of flowers. Miss Constance Smith, who was a schoolmate of Miss Murdock at the Georgetown convent, was one of th,e bridal parly. The brida, wore a gown of white lace with a tulle train. Her veil was caught with or ange blossoms and lilies of the valley, and her bouquet was sweet peas and Valley lilies. Mr. Robert L. Harter of Winfield, who attended the naval academy with the bridegroom, was his best man. A Wichita, paper says of the affair: "Miss Murdock graduated from the Western high school in Washington, and later spent two years abroad. The next winter she was introduced to Washington society, where she at once became a favorite. Her personality, her rare sense of humor, and her clevernefcs form a combination which at once drew about her many interest ing friends. She was considered one of the prettiest girls introduced this year in Washington, being especially noted for her Titian coloring. "Lieutenant Delano is the son of Mrs. M. Delano, of Muiphysboro, 111., and comes from a very old and well known eastern family. He is now aide to the admiral of the Asiatic fleet. He is a graduate of the United States naval academy at Annapolis. "Lieutenant and Mrs. Delano left Wichita last evening for San Fran cisco, and from there will sail on September 4 for Shanghai. En route they will stop in Honolulu and Japan. They will remain in Shanghai two years." Miss Mary Dallas, of Washington, D. C, will arrive the end of the week to visit Miss Willa Rodgers, and other Topeka friends. Miss Dallas spent, the summer in Wray, Colo., with her grandmother, Mrs. P. C. Campbell.

TUP I I -T I NICHTS X eH IN NORTH TOPEKA Truck Gardeners Are Undis turbed by Complaints. Kotes and Personal Mention of Aorth Side People. Kmersing unscathed from a storm of criticism, the market held every morning at the intersection of Kansas and Central avenues continues to oper ate on as large a scale as ever. Kver since the market was stilted persons living in the vicinity of The "Y" have objected to its presence. The complaints reached a climax Satur.Uiy when Mrs. H. E. Lester "'aired" her troubles before Mayor J. E. House and J. A. ilamsey. sanitary sergeant. Mrs. Lester objected to the noise in cident to running a market and a'so to the presence of stray vegetables which remain on the street after the business of the day has been com pleted. Chief of Police Harvey Parsons journeyed to the North side to investi gate the complaints. He found tha in the immediate vicinity of the mar ket sentiment was not altogether against it. Outside the immediate vi cinity of the "Y" practically no oppo sition to the market was unearthed. Team Has Narrow Escape. A margin of less than a minute in time and a few feet in distance saved the lives of a team belonging to J; C. 'Coop of rural route No. 16 Sunday morning. The team broke away from in; front of the Billard mill at 19:30 o'clock. At the same time" St ""fast" freight was entering the Union Pa cific yards and at only a slightly de creased speed was headed for the sta tion, no stop having been scheduled for Topeka. Traffic had already been stopped on Kansas avenue and the freight train was passing a point near the American Express office, when the team and wagon dashed across tne tracks. The team continued north on Kan sas avenue until it reached Kious street when it collided with a white way pole. The wagon was demol ished, the harness torn and all the globes on the pole broken. The team was stopped by Officer Ed Hansom and several civilians before It could get started again. Western Kansas Looks Good. Western Kansas looks like a iiew country, according to Charles Logan, who returned Sunday morning from oberlin. Decatur county. The western part of the state has an abundance of feed, excellent crops of prairie h.iy and sorghum having been raised. Prosperity appears to be general, says Logan. Practically every farmer owns an automobile and land values luive increased at least 25 per cent in the jiair-t few months. I'ire I'nini Overheated Stove. Yep.

10 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL MONDAY EVENING- attttt 30, 1915. GOLF INSTRUCTION BY ILLUSTRATION By ROBERT i oa.-. (Posed for by Robert Fullerton. Photos by F. O. Willard.) I believe it was Mayor House who claimed that golf playing furnished a never ending source of conversation for its devotees, or something to that effect, but it i9 doubtful if golf is any more productive in this line than baseball, tennis, football or any. of the other pastimes having an enthusi astic following. We can all recollect the "fish stories" of our angler friends, and the ability to make 300 yard drives and bogey 3-holes is very imilar to the size of the fish or the talk of a world's series, and I might Fall Dressmaking Will be ready on and after Wednesday, September 1st, to give the same good dressmaking service as has been my cus tom for many years past.

However, this remark could be rightly applied to "Golf Instruction" as it requires more "conversation" than can be confined to the space al lotted to it in a daily newspaper to tell the beginner how he may go about it. To describe in a few paragraphs the various parts of the stroke that takes several chapters of a book to make, would take an expert in rhetor ic as well as golf, few of which have aspired to this combination. The best results ever accomplished in standardizing a correct golf stroke Fall Skirts Made-to-Meaaure Miss Conlee, our expert skirt maker, is now prepared to execute orders for Fall Skirts in any style desired.

Midsummer Sale JE CL r i 1 w was done under the supervision of the late J. Garden Smith of "Golf Illus trated," London, England, by taking thousands of photographs of different parts of the swing and positions used by the great golfers of the day and drawing attention to the points of similarity, eliminating the personal peculiarities which had no bearing on the result. It is acknowledged by everyone as sociated with the game, that the pro fessional is the most satisfactory form of instruction as he demonstrates the swing and position, and it would ap pear that the next best medium left for "the brothers" who are not fortu nate enough to have the services of a professional is by photographing the various positions and studying them. Taking this for the basis of "Instruc tion by Illustration," I would refer the reader to the pictures for the ques tions that may arise in his mind if it should appear incomplete, and devote the explanation to the main point3 or "guide posts" of golf. Having convinced the beginner that there is little or no chance for suc cess by the "hitting method," and that golf is a swing (not. a' hit) in the form of an i-lipse described by the head of the club around the body, we can more readily proceed to work out the details that will develop this swing and give greater momentum to the club without an extreme dis play of force. As the momentum from the arms and shoulders is conveyed to the head of the club by means of the ijrip, it would fellow that sufficient attention should ?,e given to the meth od of gripping the club that will in no way prevent it from meeting the ball at full speed. Illustration No. 1 shows the Var don or Lock grip which has a num ber of advantages over the "old style" of placing the fingers of both hands around the shaft, principal of which is the combined force or assistance re ceived from the right hand. Ixx-k Grip Advantages. By grasping the club well in the fingers of the left hand, allowing the thumb to ride on top of the leather, and placing the little finger of the right hand on the fore finger of the left, you have combined the grip and permitted a more even application of swing from the direct source. By the lapping of the fingers you have also shortened the grip, adding additional momentum as could be illustrated by the swing of a clock pendulum. The thumb of the left hand in using the lock grip acts as a brace on the limit of your swing, being underneath the club at the top of the stroke and pre venting the common fault of taking too long a swing. The novitiate may find the 'old style jrrip less complicated and easier to stait with, but in adopting it care should be taken to see that the control of the club is given to the left hand. assisting as much as possible with the right without over ruling the left. Special attention should be given to getting the hands as close together as possible and under no circumstances must the thumb of the right hand be placed down the shaft in either grip, as this transfers the power to the wrong hand. Position or Stance. Goli clubs are made with the cor rect angle or "lie" and if 'he beginner will place the center of the club be hind the ball, being careful to note that it is resting perfectly flat on the ground, the shaft in this position will denote the distance to stand from the ball if grasped about one inch from the end of the leather. The arms should be loose and comfortable, not stretched out too far, or drawn in to hug the body, just a natural easy position with the muscles eompetely relaxed. Lik-i the grip, the position of the ball has a more -direct connection with the momentum, and should be placed at the end of the flat part of the elipso, or at the point where the club has reached its highest speed. Illustration No. 2 shows the ball in a position of between two or thiee in ches within the left heel, straight line drawn at right angles to the line of night. Note: The next series of these ar ticles by Mr. Fullerton will appear in a few days in the State Journal.

TP r 714 Kansas Avenue Topeka, Kansas W. C. KING, Manager Stories of Kansans Away back in the boom days of the f 80's, William P. Hackney erected the most modern business structure in Winfield. The building covered an entire half block, faced the main street and was the pride of the town. Carved on the face of the building were Hackney's initials W. P. H. Hackney was proud everyone re ferred to the Hackney building and it commanded the best rentals in Win field. In the !0's the panic came. Hack ney's building was vacant. Hackney was sore at heart and yet sorer of purse. His new building not only fail ed to pay dividends, but was an actual expense to its owner. One day an eastern client came to Winfield to foreclose some mortgages. He was met by Hackney, his lawyer, at the train. As the men walked up town, the easterner noticed the new building and the glaring letters cut in stone. "It is a shame such a fine building should stand idle," said the eastern man. Hackney mumbled his assent. "Pray." said the man from the east, "what do those letters W. H. P. stand for?" "Those letters," said Hackney, "those letters stand for William Played Hell." SCHEDUI.K JjAI D OVT. Plans Already Made I'or Work of Ag gie Extension Department. Manhattan, Kan.. Aug. 30. Seven institute schedules, each embracing 6t institutes have already been planned as a part of vhe winter's work for the extension division in the state agricul tural college.. The ffrst institutes will open October 11. The institute organizations have held from six to nine monthly meet ings the past year, the most of which have been conferences regarding local conditions. The program has been made up by the local organization. Each year at the annual meeting of the institute, at least two instructors from the extension division are present to aid in the program. Two kinds of programs have been prepared by the extension workers for this year's annual meetings. In meet ings of the first type, the college force supplies one-half the program, whil the institute supplies the other half. In the second type, the instructors from the college will give two lectures or lessons each day on essential prin ciples of agriculture or home econom ics. For example, in a two-day in stitute, the live stock lecturer will give four consecutive lessons while a home economics specialist will giva four consecutive lessons on home eco nomics. One demonstration period will be given each day. The demonstrations will be very practical and will be based upon such subjects as stock judging, corn judging, grain testing, soil test ing, canning, or baking. The differ ent institutes which have not already arranged their annual meeting should get in touch with the extension depart ment so that a program may be ar ranged and the meetings included In the extension schedules. HASKfcXXi PK1KST AN INDIAN. Full-blood Chippewa Indian in Charge of Catholic Indians. Lawrence, Kan., .Aug 30. The Rev. Philip B. Gordon, a full-blood Chippe wa indian, has been assigned by his church authorities to be pastor of the Haskell Institute membership in the Catholic church.

There are at Haskell Institute more than 200 members of the Catholic church. Father Gordon comes directly from Washington, D. C, where he has been connected with the Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions. MTIA'ANE SKTTIjERS MEET. Eighth Annual Reunion of .Quad County Pioneers Next Thursday. Mulvane, Kan., Aug 30. Mulvane is maklnng preparations to entertain a big crowd next Thursday, the occa sion of the eighth annual reunion of the Quad County Old Settlers' asso siation, an event that has grown to be, through past successes, one of the important meetings in this part of the state.

Charles W. Bower's memory made Shawnee county just $245.45 today when the amount was turned into the office of the clerk of the district court bv the Santa Fe Railroad company. The case which brought this money to the county was started in 1908 by the Star Grain Lumber company which does business along the southern Kansas branch of the Santa Fe. The railroad had refused to furnish cars to the company and had been sued for the penalty which the law provides for such an offense. The case was opened in the district court of the county and was appealed to the state supreme court and then to the United States supreme court. Bower took the shorthand notes in the case when it was first started and while going through the books of his office the other- day he noticed that the case had neve r teen settled. He telephoned to the state supreme court office about the matter and found that no mandate had been returned from the United States court. The state court looked up the records and ob tained the mandate. This was return- ed to Bower's office and the Santa Fc paid the money. Bower does not c;laim to have a very good memory either. j Only One Day More of the August Furniture Sale Topelca's Most Economical Homefurnisliing Event If you have a complete home to furnish, or just a piece or two to buy it will be to your interest to come here before the store closes its doors on Tuesday, when this sale will pass into his tory for another year.
